Collateral Damage 1 ( Children Dream) by dai harding

Scary, but a great image, love the colours! Annie

Hi Annie - thanks for your comment. It was 1996, I think - that UK and the USA began a big bombing campaign in Iraq. Most of the planes flew from the UK and there were huge demonstrations about it - I'd been in demo's before and hated the 'out of contol' feeling it gave me being part of such a huge angry 'mob' - so I stayed at home and painted the 3 collateral damage paintings. Years later they led to starting the 'Lord of Misrule' series of collages - then the 'Other Cities' collages - both of which could still have a long way to go. Cheers - Dai. H.
